Maryland’s Jalen Smith (25) just misses a block on the game-winning layup from LSU’s Tremont Waters as teammate Bruno Fernando comes over late to help. When those final 30 seconds elapsed — half a minute in which he lived everything the NCAA tournament has to offer — he was a puddle. “It’s a crazy game,” Maryland Coach Mark Turgeon said. “So I just took it.”With 25.8 seconds left, it rattled through the net. That left Waters, just 5-11, driving around Smith, who had almost a foot on him.
